01:049:012 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with
milk.
01:049:013 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be
for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
01:049:014 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
01:049:015 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was
pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto
tribute.
01:049:016 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
01:049:017 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path,
that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
01:049:018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
01:049:019 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at
the last.
01:049:020 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield
royal dainties.
01:049:021 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
01:049:022 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall:
01:049:023 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
hated him:
01:049:024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands
were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence
is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
01:049:025 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by
the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and
of the womb:
01:049:026 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the
blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting
hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the
head of him that was separate from his brethren.
01:049:027 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall
devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
01:049:028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it
that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one
according to his blessing he blessed them.
01:049:029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered
unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the
field of Ephron the Hittite,
01:049:030 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is
before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the
field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
01:049:031 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they
buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
01:049:032 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein
was from the children of Heth.
01:049:033 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was
gathered unto his people.
01:050:001 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him,
and kissed him.
